What does the Radavist mean?

Rad + Atavist = RADAVIST

Why does a porpoise surf a wave, or a sea otter slide down a rock? Atavism is a primal trait in humans and animals that drives us to do what we do – what ought to come naturally – it’s the inherent nature of living things to play. Atavism is why we ride the way we ride; From mashing the city on a track bike, riding singletrack on a ‘cross bike and shredding trails on a mountain bike. Take the time to get rad and tell the tale.

Aside from COG’s coverage, the only other photos I’ve seen from MidWest Mayhem 2 have been these ones that Dano emailed me on Sunday. Wanting them to get some much-needed exposure on a busy day, I decided to hold them to post them today! These are sick. Not only do they capture the ambiance of the 4Seasons Park, they catch each rider’s nuanced styles.

Check out more below!

So sick! I wish I was there! Check out the rest of Dano’s photos here on her Flickr! This event is what our sport needs: grassroots, rider-thrown and judged comps. I really wanna throw a SouthWest Mayhem here in Austin, Texas.
